Ladies would you date a guy who is under six feet tall?

Question

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

This question again 🙄

Are men really that concerned about their height in correlation to their ability to find a date/partner? I guess I can't talk; I'm just as insecure about my weight and other factors when men look at me-

To answer your question, I would and have before. Years ago, was interested in a guy that was about 5'4 (for reference, I'm about 5'6, 5'7). I was willing to date him and his height was NOT an issue! I liked him, his personality, and how he made me felt. He ended up ghosting me, but that's another story...

If more people focused on things that mattered- such as personality, intelligence, and how supportive they are... instead of things you can't change or have no control over (ie: height, ethnicity) maybe dating wouldn't be so terrible for either gender.

Is this a real question?

Let's think this through...

1. Via evolution, if women didn't date men under 6 feet tall, there'd eventually be no men under 6 feet tall.

2. The vast majority of men are under 6 feet tall. On average throughout the world, about 1/8 men are 6 feet or taller.

So, women are definitely dating and having sex with men under 6 feet tall because 7 out of 8 of them aren't going to get a guy who is 6 feet or taller... and the population verifies this fact.

In the US, a 6' 0" tall adult male is at the 84th percentile for height. If a guy under 6' 0" can't get a date with a girl, that would mean that 84% of all guys never get dates. OBVIOUSLY, that is not the way things really work.

Go sit in the corridor at the mall and watch the couples stroll by. How many of those guys are 6' 0" or taller? ALL of them? No, no, no.

Honestly, there's 3 type of people who cares about a man being at least 6'0 tall:

1 - women who are already tall and wish/rather date someone a bit taller

2 - women who are very concerned with image and status (most of the time models or influencers at some scale) and dating someone very tall contributes to her image of sucess

3 - men

I've seen women say "I wish my boyfriend was a bit taller..." but never "I would never date a guy under 6'0", but somehow A LOT of men are concerned about it and even attack women for their allegedly "unrealistic standards". Women don't care, move on.

TransAm85 · Answer

I'm 5'9" .. My husband is like 5'7". When I would wear heels or boots, I'd be about a foot taller than him! lol Does it really matter? Nah.. If u truly love the person, physical traits become the least important concern. We all get old as time passes. What's inside is all that really matters.

Whoops selected wrong.

YES I WOULD!

6 feet is a Giant!

I’m 5 foot exact

How Ima kiss him. How is he gonna hold me. How are we supposed to cuddle. I just don’t find that stuff romantic with a GIANT. I ain’t looking for a DAD.

My high school crush actually ended up becoming a 6 foot giant. And it TURNED ME OFFFFFFF.

But then I met a guy who was like Brad Pitt and all muscles and 5ft 6. Short ass dude. But he was all tough and manly DEEEP ASS VOICE. All the women chased after him like he was the last piece of meat on earth. Including me. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Dating a fluid thing. When you're under 25, women are more into looks as personality.

As time goes by, women like any intelligent being starts to value qualities. And most women between 25 and 35 can develop a laundry list of must-haves, and many generally want a taller man. Employeed and stable are in high demand.

Then later on, I find after 50, women just want a good guy who want hurt her, and actually hang around. That laundry list goes way down. They even entertain fat and bald at this point.

So height as a dating requirement. Yes, on average women want to look up to a man. I find that if the shorter guy is successful with women, he has a lot of other things going for him.

The one thing I will say, is never listen to what women says about who they will date. They don't practice what they preach. They can arrest they don't mind shorter, and if you can see their dating line-up, it's at same size or taller.

BeeNee · Answer

A good guy is a good guy. It doesn't seem to matter about height if they are confident.

Texaskid1 · Answer

From what I have seen most women will tend to date men that are a few inches taller than them. A 5 ft women will go for a 5 ' 5" guy , for example. At the same time most of the tall guys I have seen tend to go with tall women ( only a few inches shorter) .

I would say that most people people tend to gravitate towards those that are similar to them in terms of looks , height , race , educational level , age etc.

Of course there are exceptions but I am des ribing the general trend of things.

Blackcosmo · Answer

Sure why not. I would prefer someone to be a little bit taller than me but it's not the most important.

MCheetah · Answer

But they'll lie about it! LMAO!

Anonymous · Answer

from what I've seen with online dating profiles many girls desire a guy to be average or above it. which is roughly 5'9" much of western culture and 5'7" for much of eastern culture. going by health data collected from international poles once every decade.

that being said many girls often require guys to be above average in at least a few of the following. natural looks, natural height, income, fitness, schooling, dick size and social status. but depending on which ones and how many could greatly limit their chances to find someone though.

shyman87 · Answer

I would date him because I see guys who have a great personality regardless of how tall they are or how good they look. So, no I don't mind

19magic · Answer

6" for sure, most guys I date are all around my height anyhow. They've ranged anywhere from 5"7 to 5"11 and I'm 5"9

WindAtMyBack · Answer

Hugh Hefner was 5' 9" and he was the playboy of playboys.

I'm 5' 6" myself. I'm certainly not a playboy, but I manged to get dates every now and then. If I didn't get dates it was because I was too chicken, not because of my height.

Guys seriously need to stop blaming their height for not getting chicks. If they aren't getting chicks they need to figure out the real reason, because it's not their height.

xDesirae · Answer

Honestly, I would go for someone at least 5'9, BUT just because I have a preference doesn't mean I can't date someone 5'8" or shorter.

mobiusforniner · Answer

What the heck? Uh yeah they will. Im not a dwarf but im not six feet tall... got plenty of dates...

melanieeeB · Answer

Absolutely... I mostly (randomly) dated guys around 5'4 - 5'7 (I'm just 5'0 myself lol)

IveGotNoName · Answer

My boyfriend was shorter than me when we started dating 🤷‍♀️ didn't even notice until he pointed it out on an old picture of us. I'm guessing he was about 5'7 back then and I was 5'8 (we were 17, so I as a girl was fully grown and he wasn't) now he is about 5'9 i think

Midnight_Kiss · Answer

I'm not sure it would feel right to me personally but thats simply based on the fact that my ex was above average height at 6'8" also I'm tall for the average woman at 5'8" and I think that the handful of men I've been on dates with just happened to be about 6'2" to 6'5"

Cherry234 · Answer

Yeah ofc as long as he's the same height or taller than me.

courtney06 · Answer

Well I'm 5'5" so as long as he's taller than me. Shorter than me is a deal breaker.

MzAsh · Answer

I’m 5’2 so that wouldn’t be a problem for me. The shortest guy I dated was 5’5. The tallest was 6’5.

Tiptoetamm · Answer

I like tall men most of my ex's are 6plus feet tall. My boyfriend is 5'5 I'm 5'1 so most men are taller than me. So it really doesn't matter. It's the connection you have with that person that's most important in my opinion.

_deeznuts · Answer

Honestly I wouldn't care unless they're taller then me, but in 5'2", so I don't often seen men shorter then me.

jengeorge26 · Answer

Absolutely, I have known a lot of sexy guys, and most under 6’ tall

GreatnessBack · Answer

Real women, as in not stuck in hollywood thinking, while making minimum wage, will date a man at any height.

Hell, most celeb women marry guys the opposite of what they themselves have preached. It shows that they are just selling a product for money.

Amy10223 · Answer

Of course. His upstairs is what matters more than his height.

letuswaltzforthedead · Answer

I like how it's mostly guys picking c, it makes sense but it's still funny to me.

SaoirseS · Answer

Height is only an issue for me work wise if someone is over 6’10”. Otherwise it’s a total non-issue.

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

If he's okay with me being taller, yes. I like feeling tall :)

constantine15 · Answer

In the USA, no they won’t… unless they are settling because they can’t get the guy they want.

in other countries, you have a much higher chance of you’re short… because the average male height in other countries in lower, so you’ll be more average.

Jazzzzzzzminnnnnn · Answer

As a short girl (4”11) , even guys 5”5 will be taller than me. I think guys over like 6”0 or a bit more is too tall for me sometimes. So personally I would look for a guy 5”6- 5”11, but if they aren’t that height that being shorter or taller if I fall in love with them then it doesn’t matter.
Also to a different point, I’ve met guys who like taller girls and there is probably a girl out there who likes short kings.

ZackBan · Answer

What's the point of asking this question over and over?  Most will say "yes of course height doesn't matter" but very few will go for the short guy and that's just the results you see in society today

Weapon77 · Answer

Every girl who is below 5'10" had better say they'd date a guy below 6', especially since roughly 86% of men are under 6' and only about 3% of women are 5'10" and above 😆

menina · Answer

I used to be very picky about a man's height but now I'm trying to be more flexible. I realized that I shouldn't reject a guy because of his height since it's something that he can't change.

tanvishah123 · Answer

I'm 5'6 so i prefer to date guys around 5'11 no less then that

Texasgal95 · Answer

My boyfriend is my height and 🥰 we can see eye to eye and I don’t have to stand on my top toes to kiss him

AtlasoftwoMinds · Answer

Of course I would, but being on the somewhat shorter side (5'2) that's pretty easy for me to say. Would I get into a relationship with a guy who was shorter than me? I'm not sure. I've met guys who weren't much taller than me, like 5'5 maybe and that wasn't unappealing to me though.

Sirenboobzilla · Answer

2 years ago I'd be saying no. I'm 5'11 and I wanted someone at the very least as tall as me or taller. Coming up on 2 years with my boyfriend being 5'4" and honestly I have no regrets

kao118 · Answer

Yeah dedeo but maybe not too much so because I’m 5’7 and don’t want to seem too tall

SaartjieJane · Answer

Of course I would. If they’re confident and don’t care about the height difference at all then I definitely would.

Dinklex3 · Answer

Would and have. Just like plenty of other women.

shaysh87 · Answer

i don't think most women can afford to have those standards unless they're the top 20% of all women.

Fffmmm00 · Answer

Personally I prefer a guy taller than me when I wear heels, but I mean I’m 5ft2 so it’s not a big problem to find

Rosexøxø · Answer

No- with only the exception of dating a short guy named Kevin Hart.. because literally he is a legend 💗🥰

Apulu_Imback · Answer

5'6 is also tall in my country. And height doesn't matters to me because it is not something like weight that you can control or fix.

Kaytiee · Answer

Yes, and I have many times. I've only dated one person whos been 6ft.
